I haven't read about the rest of the province too much but I suspect the biggest issues right now are obviously concentrated to the lower mainland. In my tiny little bubble here in the Kootenays not much has changed at all. Yet. I did notice tonight when I was shopping that the milk section was almost totally bare with a sign saying it was because of what was going on. Other than that it has been business as usual the past few days. Luckily. I think in my area over the next few hours or days the bigger problem is going to be the hysteria and hoarding of some people.
